 * If WP cannot change time limits, it’s likely that updates will fail due to limited
   time allowances. It’s up to your host to allow set-time_limit() or not. If they
   are not willing to allow it, you’ll need to manually update your WP files, there’s
   often not enough time to do so automatically in the default 30 sec.
 * I recommend switching to a host that does allow the function. You can run out
   the time you’ve paid for, but I wouldn’t renew and would find a better host when
   the end nears.
